General Description
The LMX2335, LMX2336 and LMX2337 are monolithic, integrated dual frequency synthesizers, including two high frequency prescalers, and are designed for applications requiring two RF phase-lock loops. They are fabricated using
National’s ABiC IV silicon BiCMOS process.
The LMX2335/36/37 contains two dual modulus prescalers.
A 64/65 or a 128/129 prescaler can be selected for each RF
synthesizer. A second reference divider chain is included in
the IC for improved system noise. LMX2335/36/37, which
employ a digital phase locked loop technique, combined with
a high quality reference oscillator and loop filters, provide the
tuning voltages for voltage controlled oscillators to generate
very stable low noise RF local oscillator signals.
Serial data is transferred into the LMX2335/36/37 via a three
wire interface (Data, Enable, Clock). Supply voltage can
range from 2.7V to 5.5V. The LMX2335/36/37 feature very
low current consumption; LMX2335/37 −10 mA at 3V,
LMX2336 −13 mA at 3V. The LMX2335/37 are available in
both a JEDEC SO and TSSOP 16-pin surface mount plastic
package. The LMX2336 is available in a TSSOP 20-pin surface mount plastic package.

Functional Description
The simplified block diagram below shows the 22-bit data register, two 15-bit R Counters and two 18-bit N Counters (intermediate
latches are not shown). The data stream is clocked (on the rising edge of Clock) into the DATA register, MSB first. The data stored
in the shift register is loaded into one of the 4 appropriate latches on the rising edge of LE. The last two bits are the Control Bits.
The DATA is transferred into the counters as follows:

If the Control Bits are 00 or 01 (00 for RF2 and 01 for RF1) data is transferred from the 22-bit shift register into a latch which sets
the 15-bit R Counter. Serial data format is shown below.
